08/12/14 GOING TO HEAVEN BASED ON DIVINE CRITERIA

Jesus has provided eternal life to whoever will receive Him as Lord (Master, God, King) yet people continue to live in resistance to the will and rule of God, and then they think that when they die, God is going to welcome them into His presence forever.

Also notice how people (without a Biblical understanding) tend to think that the people they like (whether thy are acquainted or not) are going to heaven, but the people they hate (whether they are acquainted or not) are not going to heaven.

I would like for everyone to go to heaven, but it ain't hap'nin. God would like for everyone to go to heaven, but it ain't hap'nin. God provides salvation, but He allows us to choose our own Lord. Only those who choose Christ as Lord will be saved.

There is only one way to eternal life and it is through saving faith in Christ Jesus.
